Savo Milosevic anticipates tough World Cup for 'talented' Serbia

The former Aston Villa and Zaragoza hitman is looking forward to seeing his compatriots in action, while backing rookie coach Krstajic to succeed

Savo Milosevic is delighted to see his Serbia team amongst the World Cup hopefuls after an eight-year absence, but warned they faced a tough challenge to reach the knock-out stages.

Milosevic was in the twilight of his successful playing career when the Balkans side appeared at the 2006 finals, having previously helped Serbia to the last 16 in France during the 1998 edition.

And having missed out on the Brazil competition the nation beat out Wales and the Republic of Ireland to book a place at Russia 2018, a tournament Milosevic awaits with nervous excitement.
